Okay finally time to upgrade my workstation. I was waiting and waiting for 7nm AMD and here it is. Now the problem which one to go with.
For me it's not only rendering but lot of modeling in 3dsmax and multitasking (rendering in Corona and Redshift, zbrush sculpting at the same time etc.) Also cloth and particle simulation. So I need one powerful workstation that can do it all :)
Is it worth getting the 32 core beast 3970x or a bit overkill and go with 24 cores as it's 100mhz (3.8Ghz) base clock faster which is important in 3dsmax as it's one core app. 
I'm not sure about Ryzen 3950x as I read that it will require water cooling and because if Threadripper size I assume air is still good and quieter option.
Whats your take an all this?
